About the piece
Painted around 1640 by the master of atmospheric landscape, Claude Lorrain, this work depicts the Campo Vaccino, then a pastoral site within the ruins of the Roman Forum. The composition masterfully balances the massive architectural fragments on the left and right with a deep, airy perspective that leads the eye toward the distant Colosseum.
